The New England Patriots duo of Tom Brady and Bil Belichick has made history by winning their 6th Super Bowl title against the Los Angeles Rams. It has been 17 years since they won their first Super Bowl Championship also against the Los Angeles Rams.

This was masterful defensive game as the Patriots have kept the high octane offense of the Rams to 0 points in the first half and only 3 to finish the game.

The number two offense in the NFL didn’t know what hit them as they probably didn’t expect to score less than 15 points in the game while just finishing with 3 points.

With the Rams defense led by Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donalds quickly forced Brady into an interception early in the game and limited the Patriots on 3 points via a field goal in the first half.

Three quarters have passed and the game was tied at 3-3 with both sides clamping up on defense. This is where the Patriots have the advantage since the Los Angeles Rams is a scoring machine team averaging nearly 29 points per game and with just 3 points into the 4th quarter it is clear the Patriots game plan is working.

With New England having more experience in Super Bowl they found a way to score a touch down in the last quarter on a formation that saw wide receiver Julian Edelman, two tight-ends Gronkowski and Allen, and RB Rex Burkhead leading the charge.

The Patriots held on the lead and got an interception courtesy of Gilmore against Brandin Cooks. This is comeback victory for Tom Brady whom people believe is past his prime and didn’t have any winning seasons ahead of him.

As Tom Brady notes — “No one expected us to win that game, and that’s a lot how it used to feel, before all the success. It brings back different feelings and different emotions”.

The New Orleans Sainst was down 14-0 but made a historic 11-minute and 29-second drive that fueled a comeback win 14-20 and push them to the NFC title game. The drive took 18 plays, 92 yards the longest in the Saints history and by any team in the last 20 years.

Drew Brees threw two touchdown passes including the go-ahead points to Michael Thomas to secure their win.

Saints guard has this to say — “It was tough. I mean, it was one of the hardest drive I’ve been a part of, Saints guard Larry Warford said of a drive that actually lasted 22 plays and forced the Saints to gain a total of 117 yards because of three offensive penalties and one defensive penalty. I was out of breath getting down there … and everybody is tired. But you smell the end zone and you can’t give it away. You worked too hard for it when we were driving, and we finished it.”

Drew Brees has this to say — “I’m not sure if that’s a record. We went on a 117-yard drive to take the lead in the third quarter and really didn’t look back. That was the turning point the game.”

ESPN

Wide Receiver star Michael Thomas finished the game with 12 catches for 171 yards and the TD.

The Saints have their hands full against the high offensive output of Los Angeles Rams next week.

There is bad blood between the Steelers and Antonio Brown. In their last game they have benched their long-time wide receiver star as he clashed with Big Ben and a number of players.

Because of this, it is reported that the Steelers might not be able to resolve the situation and instead of turning next season into another Bell distraction, they would rather trade the superstar while he still have lots of value left.

This will be confirmed and finalized before March 13 because after that date Antonio Brown is eligible for a $5 million dollar bonus that the team is trying to avoid.

By trading Brown the Steelers are on the hook for a $21 million cap hit next year which accounts for 8-10% of the team’s salary cap.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on the other side have denied these rumours.

The Golden State Warriors have sold out their arena for 299 consecutive games which is the 4th longest streak in NBA history. On the other hand season pass wait list stands at 44,000.

The Warriors is missing a huge amount of revenue because they just cannot accomodate more fans in their seat capacity.

The try and increase more profit they are offering $100 monthly pass known as the “In The Building Pass”. This pass will allow you to enter the building during games with access to the restaurants and bars while watching the game from tv monitors. You will probably still get the vibe of the game and the feeling that you are in the arena itself.

Team is expecting to sell aorund 200 passes per month and fans can purchase a maximum of four passes.

Is this going to be a trend for other teams, most likely not since they would rather sell full price tickets to available seats rather than offer access to building during games. Only the Warriors has the power for this business offering.

The Lakers are struggling and have now lost 3 games in a row without any win to show for. The last time Lebron James was in this situation was more than 10 years ago while he was with Cleveland Cavaliers.

It is hard to see an accomplished and champion player who is at the tail end of his career transferring to a young and losing squad. Instead of fighting for another championship he opted to travel back in time and start a long process of rebuilding a team.

Lebron is downplaying in his interview that he anticipated this scenario when he signed with the team

“It’s not tough,” James said after the loss to the Spurs. “I know what I got myself into. It’s a process. I get it. And it will be fine. … I didn’t come here thinking we were going to be blazing storms right out of the gate. It’s a process, and I understand that.”

I don’t think he expected it, he got Rondo in there and managed to build a team to his liking. But now he is having a good understanding of what it takes to play in the west, a much tougher conference that the East.

Lebron believes they will get better:

“We’re going to continue to get better,” James said. “We’re going to continue to get better. I like the direction we’re going in. Obviously, it’s not resulting in the wins right now, but it’s such a long process.”

How much better is Lakers going to be? Enough to make it to the playoffs? Or just better than the 0-3 standing.
